About this station
Staiano Motorcycles Ltd is an MOT test station at 39 High Street, Starbeck, Harrogate, HG2 7LQ, in North Yorkshire, Lancashire (Yorkshire and The Humber). It appears in DVSA's Active MOT test stations dataset dated 26 February 2026 under site number 1ALX14, and is authorised for 2 of the six MOT test classes: motorcycles of any engine size (Class 1 and 2).
Motorcycle testing is the distinguishing authorisation here: 47 of the 343 stations listed in North Yorkshire hold Class 1 or 2, and 9 of the 93 stations within 10 miles of this one do. It does not test Class 4 cars and light vans, so it is a specialist station rather than a general MOT garage; the 330 Class 4 stations in North Yorkshire are listed on the district page.
The nearest listed alternative is Housemans Auto Repair Centre, 0.1 miles away (Classes 4, 5 and 7). 56 other stations sit within 5 miles and 93 within 10 miles, which makes this a dense area for MOT choice. The five nearest stations lie within 0.1 miles.
The DVSA statutory maximum fee applies to every class this station tests: Class 1 £29.65, Class 2 £29.65. Motorcycle tests are typically £20-29 against the £29.65 cap. Confirm the price with the station before booking; prices are not part of the DVSA register.
